This is what I have planned... Thats just under 3K miles with no side trips. Why the less direct route from Indy to WinterPark? I've never been to Nebraska. BTW, thats a screen cap ya'll see. Can't add the code from the Google Maps site to a post and get it to display properly.
My route is too dull for words, let alone pictures.....I-70 west to Denver, then follow the signs to WP. Gotta admit tho, the superslab is a great way to get someplace quickly - relatively speaking. BTW, Nebraska is just a boring as Kansas till you get about to the western state line.......oh, and don't blink when you drive thru the Nebraska State Forest or you'll miss it. I think I counted 7 trees! We are considering taking a "Grand Tour" of Colorado, after the event - if we're not too tired of driving by then.

before, leaving Friday 8/6 in the PM Heading back to St. Louie after dropping the wife at the airport in Denver on the Sunday MITM/MTTS wraps up
Believe me, you haven't missed a thing by never driving through that part of Nebraska. I've driven that route more times than I care to remember, and will be doing it again in a couple weeks. I usually sleep most of the way; and that's when I'm driving! :eek6: You can get a good cup of coffee in Gothenburg, though; keep that in mind.
Once will be enough..............repeat after me........corn fields on my right and corn fields on my left..........repeat
The Kernel of C.O.R.N. is gonna get me, but +100 to #s 6, 7 & 8 above :beer Here's my route: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF&msa=0&msid=113658788762473506435.00048c8f04fceb603cbbc That first stretch, A/F to B is 894 miles + gas, food and nature breaks. That's day 1. Day 2 is B to D. Days 3 - 6 are unmapped drives from D to whereever. Days 7 & 8 are D to A/F via E. OK, I think I got it working now
Let's see, Iowa Sweet Corn, Nebraska Corn (flat on flat), then you get to the flats of NE Colorado. :eek6: Then you get to MITM, Winter Park, MTTS, then all is good again. :devil: See you all here, I have driven 70 East via Kansas, sunflowers and wheat, 76 to 80 East via Nebraska, corn and wheat and no trees until Lincoln. Oh I am happy I live in Colorado. Thank you all for reminding me. Don
